Virtual reality helps lower pedestrians' and cyclists' exposure to harmful vehicle emissions, aiding in urban planning for improved air quality.

A study from the University of Birmingham indicates that virtual reality (VR) can help lower pedestrians' and cyclists' exposure to harmful non-exhaust vehicle emissions linked to health issues. Using computational fluid dynamics, researchers created VR models that visualize pollutant dispersion in urban areas, informing the public about pollution levels. The findings suggest that VR technology could influence urban planning for improved air quality.
